1. Carbonation Drops: These are an easy way to carbonate your beer during bottling.

2. Hop: Additional hops can be added for extra bitterness or aroma. Consider using dry hops or hop extracts for intense flavour.

3. Adjuncts: Grains like corn, rice, or oats can be added to change the flavour or body of the beer. These are typically used to lighten the body or increase fermentable sugars.

4. Fresh and Dried Fruit and Juices: Adding fresh fruit, juices, or wine juice concentrates during fermentation can impart unique flavours and aromas.

5. Spices and Botanicals: Herbs, spices, or other botanical ingredients can add complexity. Common choices include coriander, ginger, or orange peel.

6. Lactose: Used in milk stouts or sweet beers for added sweetness and body since it is not fermentable by yeast.

7. Yeast Nutrients: Helps yeast during fermentation, especially for high gravity brews where nutrients might be depleted.

8. Oak Chips: Adds woodiness and complexity, mimicking barrel ageing.

9. Finishing Agents: Ingredients like gelatin or Irish moss can help clarify your beer.

10. Cider or Beer Enhancer: Gives your brew extra body and taste

Enjoy the experimentation with these additives to find what works best for your brewing style!
